Chapter 90.
A middle-aged man sat on a chair, his assistant serving him tea. The lounge was spacious and clean, so the people there weren't too bothered by it.
After a calm observation, Ying Zhisheng stepped inside. Assistant Tao and Cheng Zhi followed closely behind him, coffee in hand and bags in hand.
"Hello." Ying Zhisheng's eyes showed a sense of dissatisfaction and inexplicable irritation towards these people who had come uninvited. "What's going on?"
The other party sighed softly: "It turns out that there are ghosts in this world."
"Ying Zhisheng, my son's name is Lou Sheng. Do you know him?"
Suddenly, his ears rang, a long, sharp sound piercing his brain, so loud it caused a splitting headache. Ying Zhisheng seemed frozen in time, not even blinking for a long moment, torn between frantically recognizing reality and clinging to fantasy. The trembling of his fingertips betrayed his panic.
Lou Weihong leisurely observed this little star with abnormal emotions. Although he didn't know the relationship between this person and Lou Sheng, his uniqueness made him pay attention.
For the first time, his stubborn son begged for something in a humble manner.
You know, the last time he parted ways with Lou Sheng, Lou Sheng looked defiant and called him a scumbag and a beast. He was so arrogant.
Lou Weihong sighed. He was no longer young, the gray hair on his temples and the deep wrinkles around his eyes telling him the truth. However, now over fifty and alone, it seemed Gao Xinhua's curse during their divorce had taken effect.
Gao Xinhua cursed him bitterly and cursed him to die a miserable death, wishing that such a sentimental person like him would live out his life in loneliness.
Because Lou Sheng had already been born healthy, Gao Xinhua even made a vulgar curse, cursing him that from now on his children would have no anus. Perhaps because the probability of the child having congenital deformities was small, he never had any more children except Lou Sheng.
Lou Weihong only has one child, Lou Sheng. When he learned that someone had committed suicide by jumping off a building, he was very indifferent and went abroad to find a lover, trying to continue his offspring.
As for how he and Gao Xinhua went from being a loving couple to a divorce, he was unfaithful and made principled mistakes in the marriage, and was unwilling to give money to Gao Xinhua for daily expenses.
The woman was forced to do odd jobs right after her confinement, and she almost missed Lou Sheng who was sick with a high fever.
Lou Weihong held a grudge against Gao Xinhua. Few women in that era would file for divorce over such a trivial matter. Yet Gao Xinhua threw a tantrum and insisted on a divorce, leaving him completely humiliated.
"Lou Sheng begged me to help you. That guy is so humble, so rare," Lou Weihong said, chuckling softly, a mixture of pride and mockery. "I heard you have your own studio. So, I'd love to open an entertainment company, too..."
silence.
The only way to live is silence.
Because of the tinnitus, he only heard a few words, but that was enough. Lou Sheng begged this scumbag for some messed-up online thing. This scumbag didn't even attend Lou Sheng's funeral! He didn't even look at him, and tacitly allowed those people to destroy Lou Sheng's ashes!
His back tensed, veins bulging on his forehead and neck from the excitement. Ying Zhisheng's breathing quickened, his vision blurring, his throat so dry he couldn't utter a word.
Someone was calling him and asking him questions.
But suddenly, Ying Zhisheng couldn't tell what year it was. He heard Lou Sheng muttering and complaining, from far away to near:
——"Hey, don't be sad, I also come from a single-parent family, it's no big deal."
"Your dad is such a piece of shit, he won't even give you a penny! Your class needs to buy study materials this time, I'll pay for it for you."
——"My dad is no good either. He would go out and mess around when he had some money. One time, he got drunk and punched me in the face. My nose was bleeding and I couldn't stop it. My mom took me to the hospital. I was only four years old at that time."
——"My mother couldn't stop crying when she carried me to the hospital. After the divorce, she didn't give me a penny. To support me, my mother worked everywhere and even fainted from exhaustion, right in front of me."
——"I hate him! I feel sick when I see him! I would rather die than go find him!"
——"I would rather die than go find him!"
——"I would rather die than go find him!"
…
He was about to let out a sad sob, but he bit the back of his hand and forced himself to hold it back.
Ying Zhisheng nervously tilted his head slightly, sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him, Lou Sheng's biological father, who had been so cold and indifferent to him. He immediately noticed the smug grin on his face. What was he so proud of? Was he proud that Lou Sheng had bowed his head and begged him?
Thinking about it, Ying Zhisheng asked. He asked in a hoarse and strange tone. He was known as a talented singer and couldn't control his vocal cords.
Lou Weihong looked fierce and threatened the little star, telling her that she'd better be sensible, otherwise she would be ruined.
Disgraced.
Ying Zhisheng silently repeated the words in his mind, smiled indifferently, and said softly, "Lou Sheng, it was so difficult back then... You didn't help him, and you watched him die. After Lou Sheng died, his ashes fell into the hands of his enemies. The funeral was sloppily and crudely, and someone even played games with loud music next to the tablet... and you didn't care."
"Shut up! What does our family's affairs have to do with you?"
"It has something to do with me! You scumbag are just taking advantage of Lou Sheng's death so I can't point my finger at you and scold you! I'm incompetent and don't have the energy to get out of my current predicament!" Ying Zhisheng suddenly stopped talking halfway through and looked at this person coldly.
To everyone's surprise, he moved so fast that there was an afterimage, and he went straight up and punched the opponent in the middle of the face with a muffled sound.
Uncle Cheng Zhi and Assistant Tao were both stunned, and the things in their hands fell to the ground.
Ying Zhisheng felt that he was going to kill this man. In a trance, he punched him again and again, and blood covered the gaps between his fingers. He also felt that the person who should be killed was himself.
——
Here, Lou Sheng was investigating a case. He was an amateur, and with nothing better to do, he started to distinguish whether the footprints on the ground belonged to a human or a dog.
People can't see ghosts. But Lou Sheng took a walk around the Public Security Bureau and realized that the videos they showed were not slandering Ying Zhisheng. Instead, they were a sign of a shift in public opinion, with major media outlets speaking in Ying Zhisheng's favor.
It's true. There is no substantial negative information about him that would make him be criticized like this. Ying Zhisheng is also unique in the circle.
The long-haired, white-clad female ghost standing next to Lou Sheng was his colleague. Her features were unclear, but she was agile enough to scale walls and dodge underground. They say that working together is easier when a man and a woman work together, but he was already married and absentminded, keeping his distance.
Ying Zhisheng is very jealous of female ghosts.
"Do you have a partner? Is he a human or a ghost?" the female ghost asked him.
Lou Sheng pretended to be casual but shy, "My partner is a man, 23 years old."
The female ghost clapped her hands and said, "My partner is also a man. How old is he? Hiss, I forgot. Anyway, he is younger than me."
This could be considered a kind of fate. Lou Sheng glanced at the female ghost in surprise. He had originally thought that human-ghost romance was a niche phenomenon, but now it seemed that human-ghost romance was quite popular.
Although they were unfamiliar, Lou Sheng formally introduced himself to her: "My name is Lou Sheng, and I'm the captain of the ghost group in this police station."
"My name is... Tao Zhen, you can just call me Zhenzi."
This ghost was quite easy to get along with. Lou Sheng smiled and said, "Then you can just call me Shengzi."
Zhenzi was so happy that her teeth were exposed. She pushed aside the thick hair that was blocking her face and said, "You are still a small leader. You have a bright future, young man. But you won't be my leader. Money is hard to come by these days. I just take time off to work part-time to earn some money. I have to go back before my husband comes home."
"My husband told me that his boss is very strict and cruel. Some time ago, he didn't want to go to work. He often had nightmares and cried at night! He must be under so much pressure!"
Lou Sheng listened with righteous indignation, "What a rubbish this black-hearted boss is!"
